C F C G
When I was a babe, I fell down in my holler

When I was a girl, I fell into your arms

You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms

πΈ Verse 2:
C F C G
I danced for my dinner, spread kisses like honey
C F C G
You stole and you gambled and I said you should

We sang for our suppers, we drank up our money
Am F G C
Then, one day, you left, sayin' I was no good

Well, alright, I'm bad, but then you're no prize either

Just let me remind you what I Am to you

'Cause I Am the one who looks out when you're leapin'

And I Am the one who heard what you said sleepin'
Am F G C
I'll take that and more when I Go to my grave

It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under

It's sooner than later that you'll be alone

So who will you turn to tomorrow? I wonder
Am F G C
For when the bell rings, lover, you're on your own
πΈ Interlude:
C G C G
πΈ Verse 6:
C F C G
I Am the one who you let see you weepin'
C F C G
I know the soul that you struggle to save

Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the reapin'
Am F G C
Now, what will you Do when I Go to my grave?
